LIVING

No matter how hard we try, we all have gaps between what we want others to perceive about us and who we truly are. Whether it’s with your spouse, a friend, your parents, or your boss, there are times when people see our gaps, and we suddenly become aware of a terrible fear we all have: rejection. The fear of rejection is so powerful, it fuels our damaging behavior of hiding our gaps from others. The good news is, God knew of our tendency, and He painted a picture of how to overcome both our tendency and our fear for our own good and for the good of others.
